Default Got my jeep lifted

So I finally got my 3" lift installed and it actually went well. No broken bolts of broken tools. It looks good, sits level.

However between 35-45 i get this horrible front end shimmy going on. but go slower or faster and it smooths out.

Any ideals? Do i need to tighten sway bars more? New steering stablizer? Im lost lol

Trackbar. Check it, that causes most front end shaking, a steering stabilizer will only cover up the problem you are having, wont solve it.
